Hi Kuzio family,
I wanted to say how much I think about Corey. We went to boot camp together at Paris Island and served together at 3rd Amphibious BN together. He was always the person who would say hi to you when I passed by him on the ramp or in an office. I remember his smile and kind words, and I still miss him to this day. He is gone, but his memories live on Im me and the rest of the Marines who served with him.

I'll always remember Corey as "Huckleberry Finn", a nickname earned the first night I met him at a mutual friend's house. He rolled his jeans up like a bumpkin and smiled the entire night. He was among the first friends I met when I moved to Oceanside after college. I'm so thankful for the great memories I have of him, including last Superbowl when he and Luke ventured out for ice and returned from the store with a 4-foot stuffed gorilla for my niece and nephew. The gorilla, named Bubbles, remains a faithful playtime companion for the kids.
Corey will never be forgotten. A smile that bright lasts forever.
God Bless.

Kim, Although we never really got to know eachother as we grew up in Charlton, my deepest condolences to you as you go through this time of profound pain and sorrow...I could never imagine losing a child being a father of five children. Words will never make the pain any easier but take comfort in the fact that many are praying for you and your family during this time. Remember the strength your young son had as a Marine. Men like him are serving our country because they believe that our way of life as Americans needs to be protected. My thanks to him for that.
